A few things to try.

Instead of multiple restarts, do a hard shut down and pull the power cord
from the wall when it crashes like this... wait a minute or two and then try
again. I had a similar problem that was related to my usb hub-changing to
another brand fixed it. Add usb devices one at a time to find which may be
causing a prob. Use extension manager to remove extensions from startup if
there is a conflict.

Good Luck!
